Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has cautioned Nigerian state governors signing contracts with foreign companies.
Sani cautioned state governors to be careful when signing
contracts with foreign firms to avoid the confiscation of Nigerians owned jets
and assets.
Posting on X, the former lawmaker wrote: “All the State
Governors signing contracts with foreign firms should be careful so that they
will not start seizing the diaspora properties after they confiscate all our
remaining planes.”
His warning comes amid a contractual dispute between Nigeria
and a Chinese company, Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Limited.
Fucheng was recently granted an order to seize a Dassault
Falcon 7X, an Airbus A330-243 and a Boeing 737-7N6/BBJ belonging to the
Government of Nigeria.
This followed the revocation of the company’s export
processing zone management contract by the Ogun State Government in 2016.
Aggrieved by the action of the Ogun State Government, the
company had sought the intervention of the French court in his contractual
dispute.
In its ruling, the court ordered the seizure of the three
jets belonging to the Nigerian Government.
But reports claimed that one if the jets was released for
President Bola Tinubu’s use.
